You gave me the same answer on a different subject as well. The only thing the two threads had in common was that the were both about D'Antoni? If you are trying to say that he makes his GM get the players he likes, that's fine with me. And the man's name is Shawn Marion (

excuse my writing (I be at work, doing 3 to 4 things).
u made a comment about Dantoni being able to adapt....he is clueless about the NBA halfcourt game, especially defending it.
It's been 2 seasons and Dantoni cant write-up a decent play during a time-out.
The Phoenix Suns became Marion team when Kidd left.
Marion was a starter with Kidd for two seasons making the playoff in both those seasons (using a running-offense), and then Marion became a starter with (halfcourt-offense) Marbury for two seasons only making playoff once.
Where was Dantoni during those four seasons of Marion career???
Try getting Fired from the Denver Nuggets and going back to Italy.
Marion and Marbury battled for who was in control of the Phoenix team...guess who won?
Who Team? Marion's Team!!!
Who Team? Billups team.....
Did u witness the Detroit Pistons when Billups took controll in the 2002-3 season to make Detroit a 2nd round playoff team no matter the 4 different headcoach change. Look what happen to Detroit once Billups left.
Now Look at the (first round) Denver Nuggets now since Billups took total controll of the team from Coach Karl and Carmelo (they became a 2nd round playoff team).
